Need info on Husqvarna 30 06

Hello, I recently was given my deceased fathers Husqvarna 30 06 rifle and was wanting to see if I can find out some detailed info on it. I have taken some pics to show serial #'s etc. also some close ups of the scope and mounts. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks a bunch. I want to preserve this rifle as a tribute to my dad, as this was his baby and had it since new. I'd like to get it refinished and have it look new again. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks-

First time on TFF. This is interisting. I have a Husqvarna Vapenfabriks that looks exacly like JONNYD' s gun. The difference being the info is stamped on the left side of the barrel. (HUSQVARNA VAPENFBRIKS AB Nitro MOD C SWEDEN 363977) On the top of the barrel is stamped SMITH & WESSON .30-06 I do not have camera to take pic's rite now. Would this still be a model 4100 ?

Your dad's rifle looks really nice as it is. If you "refinish it" it will lose value and originality. I realize you will never want to sell it, but most people who love firearms like them in their original condition. Besides, unless you spend $600 to $1000 you will end up with a really poor job. The scratches and blemishes it has now should be a sentimental reminder of how your dad handled and loved it. Leave that rifle alone.

Diddo Wonderwhippet said. If you have it refinished and have all of the scratches and blemishes removed, it's not your dad's rifle any more. It would be like having an old framed family photo restored and the faces accidentally get airbrushed over.

Your rifle is a S&W model C made by Husqvarna. It uses a different action than the rifle that started this thread. It does look similar to the 4100.

Also my first time on TFF. I also have a Husqvarna 30-06 like Jonnyd except mine has
a blonde colored stock and the serial number is 112371. Is this still a model 4100 and
what year was it made? Any price diff. from Jonnyd's? Any help is greatly appreciated.

No, it's not a model 4100. The serial number is way too early to be that model. Pics would be needed to determine what model it is.

Very nice. Have a 30-06 and a 243 by Husqvarna. Short bbl makes great to carry. HVA actions are very good. 06 is just like yours ... has an older Weaver K3. My 243 is labeled Smith & Wesson on the bbl. Husqvarna/Carl Gustaf built a few for S&W; three variations.

There are alot of Husky's out there, they were a reasonably price rifle way back, and you can still find them in the closets of granpa's and old timers. I have a 30 .06 #102402 that is one of the most accurate rifles I have shot outside of my Arnold. I love it and would never part with it. I do hate the flip over saftey because the scope mounts have to be to high for it to clear, but the 500.00-700.00 bucks that I see them going for nowadays does not come close to the centamental value. Keep your Husky in original condition.
